lity.toits inhabitants. General Paez left Caraceas on the 4th June, at night,. in great haste, having been sent for by express from Valencia, to quiet the disturbances which had broken out amongst the troops. — Business was dull at Caraccas—no money in circulation, and those who owed money would, or could not pay their debts. The El Columbiana published a letter from General Paez to Bolivar, explanatory of the coure he has pursued, which is very different from that which we published on Saturday, although, it is presumed, both from the same text. The letter published on Saturday was circulated to give the character of General Paez, as to patriotism and good policy, if not good sense, a very unfavourable cast, while a letter 'published in The Colombiana (it appears to us) wilt have an opposite effect. The Editor of The Colombiana says, in speaking of this letter, that those on the spot little need the evidence therein furnished to satisfy them how imperious have been the circumstances tinder which General Paei has acted. There is not, lie says, to be found in Venezuela one man, feeling like a man, and Who dare avow it, that will not agree with the Gene ral in saying, that the dark policy of Administration has inspired general mistrust of all that comes from Bogota, and the Editor names the following : The door of justice has been closed on the distant, needy, and uubefriended suitor; those concessions, which after many years of importunity have been wrung from jus tice one day, have with inexcusable. weakness, or some thing worse, been recalled on the next, on some miserable sophistry, at the instigation of personal influence and intrigue. Deeisions in the High Courts of Justice in Bogota have been surreptitionsly withheld since Decem ber last, inasmuch ,that there is not an humble and unbe friended individual i►t Venezuela, having had transactions with Bogota, who could not produce a similar one.— In Bogota itself the facts are as well known as here. Can such a state' of things then continue ? Do they not rather prove, what all Venezuela can confirm, that General Paez is strictly justified in asserting, that it is to his moderation and energy alone that the explosion has not taken place long, since. We are staunch advo cates for the preservation of the Union with Bogota, but we desire in her a confederate, not a ruler; we insist on equality, and a system that shall ensure the people their tights, be they in or out of office, near the administration, or distant from it, rich or poor, humble or pampered—in short we desire, as we have already stated, a federation of the States, being the only change, that in ou.r opinion, can be effected with safety to the integrity of the union. Among the Decrees passed to the Executive Power by the Congress at Bogota, we observe the following, directing the Executive to conciliate the differences be tween the Republic and the House of Goldsehmidt. If we may believe the accounts in the French Pa pers from Madrid, it would seem that the Cabinet of FERDINAND feels great apprehension from the conse quences of the new Constitution to be given to Portu gal. It is said, that the Duke del INFANTADO, on hearing of it, and of the amnesty granted to the Por , tuguese, exclaimed, " A great portion of the nation will do well to refuse the pernicious present of a young Prince without experience, and who is not acq uainted with the great ideas of the Cabinets of Europe. ' Im mediately afterwards every engine was set to work to carry on intrigues at Lisbon ; and every effort was made to persuade the Regency of Portugal, that it ought to make representations on this subject to the Emperor, and prevent the admission of the Constitu tion. The same paper adds, that the affairs of Spain are approaching a great crisis : but that whatever happens in that Country 4, the Portuguese will be Constitutional : it is no longer a popular revolution. " The Constitution comes ab alto, it is legitimacy that 4 , gives it !" Reports were in circulation yesterday of the arrival 01E.Falmouth of his Majesty's ship Tweed, having on board remittances. for the payment of the Mexican Dividends, but no account of her arrival has been re• ceived to-day. The accounts of distress from all quarters where our manufactures heretofore throve most luxuriantly, continue to be of a very afflicting na t ure : b u t i n t h e gloomy horizon which encircles these districts—and which resembles, we would fain hope, more the heavy sky which suceeeds a storm, than the lowering of ano ther tempest, we think we perceive a distant openin g small patch of blue sky— whichindicates returning lair weather—and may perchance bring on another seaso n of abundance and prosperity.. It appears from the concurring testimony of various accounts, that the m anufacturing interests of foreign countries have suf fared in p re Cisely the same manner as 'those of our own ; and that, as might have been expected from those countries possessing less capital than ottrs, and consequently becoming sooner exhausted, the effects of their embarrassments have been even more fatal than those which we have experienced ; so much so, indeed, that the abandonmout of their manufac tories has in many places been rendered abso lutely unavoidable. In the articles of cotton ma nufacture, the competition of the United States was most to be dreaded,---but such has been the recent distress of this branch of trade, that we find the greater number of manufactories established in Rhode Island, and other parts of the Union, are on the point of being abandoned,--and a similar course in b e expect ed to be f o ll owe d b y many other manufactories in different parts of Europe, from the inability of their owners to work them with advantage. The necessary consequence of such events will he the re-employment of our own Manufacturers, and the restoration of these branches of Commerce to the channels, from which they may have been partially diverted by the attempts of other Nations to rival us in productions, for which our Capital and Machinery had rendered us * pre-erninent. In this circumstanc e we see the gliminering of a new day of manufacturing greatness for this country . and although we must not conceal from our w . tim inevitable existence of di stress e for a considerable p er i o d, from the combination of various circumstances, still if a rational hope hmightens even the distant pros ' pect of our Manufacturers, it will act as a fresh sti mulus to their patient endurance of the distress which may press upon them in the intervening period, and encourage them to maintain their estabhshments and people in readiness for a s eason o f renewed activity. he present peaceful disposition of the most dis tressed districts affbrds a reasonable expectation that the unemployed workmen will not be led into any excesses destructive of their future means of employ ment, and the failure of the attempts of the wicked Emissaries who have endeavoured to instigate them to Acts of riot, is at once gratifying to tEe lovers of order, and creditable to the suffering objects of their vile designs. Navy YORK, JUNE 17.—NEw YoRK VEGETABLE MAR KRT,FOr several days past the prices of vegetables, &c. in our markets have been as follows :—Potatoes from Bd. to Is. 3d. per half peck ; Peas from Is. 3d. to 2s. per ditto ; Turnips 74. to 104. per bunch, of about six; Oni ons equal to 7id • per pound; Cabbages, containing three or four leaves' walnut. any head, 54:1. to 84. e ac h ; B eets, Radishes,, Cucumbers, &c.; Lettuce 2d. to 44. per head; Cherries and Strawberries scarce, dear, and of poor quality.

Yesterday afternoon was posted up at Lloyd's the arrival of the Tweed frigate, with, it was supposed, specie on board to pay the Mexican dividend ; this good information had the effect of inune. diately raising the Mexican Bonds to 48, and Colombian to 35 ; but this morning we have no account of the above frigate having arrived, consequently Mexican and Colombian Bonds are not so Pod.

The packet ship, Captain Endicott, who arrived here. Ja nuark IS, from Sumatra, was informed at Troumoon, by the Rajah, that the Dutch had taken possession of Pulo Nyas, a va luable island on the West Coast of Sumatra; and Baroos, a small place between Sinkel and Tappanooly, both belonging to the Na tives; that the Malays were much disturbed at the outrage, and would, if they had the means, attack the invaders without delay; and that the Rajah had written to the King of England, solicit ing his interference to procure the restoration of both places to the Malays; and Captain E. saw the letters, which were forward ed by an English vessel to Calcutta. We learn by the Leonitine, from Vera Cruz, that Commodore Porter was received in a very honourable manner, on his arrival there, by the Public Authorities. He then proceeded to Alnico. Several of the Native Officers had resigned. Vera Cruz was very unhealthy when the Leonitine sailed. THE ARMY. Detachments of Recruit* arrived in town yesterday morning, from Coventry, on route to join their respective corps and depots. Detachments belonging to the let battalion of the Royals, and the Bth Regiment of Infantry, are ordered to embark to-morrow Morning, on board a vessel in the River, for Scotland. A detachment belonging to the 56th Regiment of Foot has re ceived orders to embark this morning, on board a vessel in the River, for conveyance to Hull. The 3d division of the 56th Regiment of Infantry is shortly ex pected to arrive at Portsmouth, from the Mauritius. NOCTURNAL BALLOON ASCENT. VAUXHALL GARDENS.--A large concourse of spectators was attracted to this fashionable place of public amuse ment last night, to witness the promised ascent of Mr. Charles Green, the aeronaut, with his new , balloon. This is, we believe, the first balloon ascent that ever took place at night in this country, though several nocturnal ascents have taken place in France. Early yesterday morning Mr. Green commenced filling the balloon, and in the after noon it was inflated; and it is only a just compliment to that gentleman to say, that in point of splendour and geo metrical accuracy, it surpasses all former machines of the kind that have been exhibited in this country. By nine o'clock the aeronaut was prepared to take his flight to the starry regions. His son, and a gentleman, whose name did not transpire, took their seats with Mr. G. in the car. At half-past ten o'clock a pistol was fired as a signal to loosen the cords, and the machine rose majestically into the air, amidst loud cheers and shouts. The various bands struck up . " God save the King," and the aeronauts waved their flags, and bowed to the spectators, displaying the utmost coolness and intrepidity. The balloon ascended almost perpendicularly, and continued in sight of the vi sitors of the Gardens, till in the distance it appeared a black spe c at,ae and x disapp eare d. M r. S outhby had prepared iary work for th e p urpose o f display ing et r fina l ly rdi the beauty of the pyrotechnic art, and which was to have been let off when ' the balloon was in the air; but owing to an a ccident, on the ball oon ascend i ng, the fire work, which was tied to a string fastened to the cur , w as n Mr. Green took with him a safety-lamp, to enableotignited. i l t i e in; to view the barometer. He took 2 ewt. o f ballast in the car, and carried with him th e goo d wishes of every one for his safe descent. At two o'clock this morning Mr. Green made his re appearance a t the Gardens, and was greeted by all w h o remained o f the company. He had descened sa f e l y at Richmond. —A form of alph a b e ti ca l CHEROKEE LANGUAG—r.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Thu Day.) CRAWSVILY V. COLLINS.--1111.01ini V. IDS MM. His Lordship stated that he thought the minutes pro posed by Mr. Hart, on the part of the plaintiff in Crawshay v. Collins, required to be materially altered, which he would do with his own hand, and deliver them out on Monday morning ; and that after he had done that, he would go on to state what occurred to him in Brown v. De Jastet, because he was of opinion that these two cases must go together, though they were very different. GOODSON V. ELLISON. Mr. Horne said, this case was at the head of the paper to be spoken to ; he was to speak to it, but there was an appeal of Rose v. Manning further down in the paper, which Mr. Hart had obtained , the leave of the Court to have put into the paper. He (Mr. Horne) was quite ready to go on with Goodson v. Ellison; but if Mr. Hart did not get to Rose v. M ann i ng to-d ay (this being the last day of hearing appeals), it was not to be understood that Mr. Horne's clients were to be restrained from pro ceeding under the decree of the present Master of the Rolls, the decree appealed from. His Lordship observed, that though what he bad said in Goodson v. Ellison, might be considered in one sense a judgment, yet he had left the case open to be spoken to by any body who had any thing to say in it. Mr. Home had said he had something to observe in it, and if he chose to do that among the motions, he should be at li berty to do so ; and, therefore, if Mr. Hart were ready he could go on with Manning v. Rose. • VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tmis DAT). The Court was occupied this morning in hearing argu ments in exceptions to the Master's reports, which in volved no public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET—(Tarts DAT.) A young urchin was brought up by one of the day patrol, who stated that he was on duty in Berner's street, Russel-square, when he met the prisoner with four other boys. When they saw him they separated and ran away. The prisoner threw a silver watch from him, but was pursued and taken by witness. No owner appearing, he was remanded till Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET—(Tms DAY.) A fair Cyprian was charged by Captain Shield, resid ing at the Bath Hotel, Arlington-street, with having as saulted him last night in Leicester-square. He stated that as he was passing the prisoner accosted him; but on his declining her company she directly struck him in the face. He then gave her in charge, but not wishing to press the charge at the watch-house, the watchman de tained him and put him into the black-hole, together with a young man who came as witness of the assault. They, however, liberated witness on his leaving his watch as a security for his appearance this morning; but they refused to release the young man. The watchman here stated, that they were very riotous in the watch-house, and that the Captain was drunk. Captain S.—l deny it on my oath. I was myself sober; the young man was not riotous, and it was cruel and unwarrantable treatment to detain him in the watch house all night for no crime. A gentleman who was present at the time corroborated this statement. Mr. Dyer, after censuring the watchman, dismissed the prisoners and the Captain, after receiving back hi s wa t c h, eft the Office. MEETING OF THE STOCKPORT OPERATIVES. We heard that Meetings had taken place on Monday, and last week, and that one would be held in Longshutt lane last night (Wednesday). We proceeded to the ap pointed spot about eight o'clock, where we found about 2 or 300 men and boys assembled; others continued to arrive until a quarter to nine, when the numbers on the ground were between 5 and 600. At this time a man, who it was evident was expected to address them,arrived. A ring was immediately formed, and he proceeded to busi ness, by reading from Sherwin's Register, of November 14, 1818, one of the most inflammatory extracts we ever recollect to have heard ; the tenor of which was to incite the people to arm, recommending for that purpose aknife, eleven inches and three quarters in length, and two broad at the bottom, fired into a staff eight feet long.—(At this part of the proceedings, some person in the crowd fired a pistol off).—With this formidable weapon they 'were to defend themselves, or, if necessary, use it offensively. The speaker then proceeded to state (from the extract) the superiority of a body of men thus armed, over a regular force armed in the usual way, and illus trated it in the following manner :—" Suppose," said he, "two armies were drawn out against each other, the one armed with musket and ball-cartridge, and the other with musket and bayonet, which would have the advantage? —why, the latter to be sure." On finishing the reading of this extract, loud cheers were given by a part of those met, the majority, however, much to their credit, not joining: We now felt anxious to know who this fellow was, and were shortly gratified; for it appeared that it was necessary he should vindicate his character from some vile aspersions, and that he was one of those apprehended with Hunt, Afoorhoute, &c. in 1819. His name, we un derstand, is Healey, and comes from Yorkshire; he was tried at York with Hunt, Moorhouse, Saxton, BanVord, and the other worthies who so strenuously endeavoured to incite insurrection in this part of the country in 1819. —Stockport Advertiser. DISTRESS OF THE TlMES.—Since our last another very extensive cotton mill has ceased working, in consequence of the extraordinary pressure of the times, and sorry are we to say, that there is too much reason to fear that others will be compelled to do the same. The burden of our pours' rates is increasing heavily, and how can. it be otherwise, when, by the above unfortunate event, from six to seven hundred hands are thrown out of em ployment, without the slightest chance of gaining a no th er situation.—Stockport Advertiser. The late' Alderman Cox, it appears, died with out any will, as yesterday an administration was granted by the Prerogative Court to Frances Charlotte Cox, the widow and relict, under 6001. No branch of trade is suffering more at present than that of printing. In Edinburgh, at this moment, there is not one-third of the usual amount o f wor k, and but for the sessions papers, it would h ave b een still worse. Above 70 compositors are now going partial e m pl o y ment . bare absol i l u te t ly at a st a nd.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, JULY 21.—Yesterday afternoon his MAJESTY took an airing . in his pony-phaeton, accom panied by the Lord Steward, after dinner, in the Great Park. His MAJESTY did not visit Virginia Water ; but is expected to go there to-day. During the present week the following distinguished arrivals and departures have taken place at the White Hart Inn :—Marquis Cholmondeley, Lord Rock savage, Lord Tankerville, Lord Lindsay. Marquis of Bristol and family are still here. The Duke of Beau fort arrived this morning, and shortly afterwards he proceeded to the Royal Lodge and had an audience of his MAJESTY. In the early part of the present week, a highly finished model of a frigate of the first class, presented to the KING by Sir Henry Blackwood, was submit ted to the inspection of his MAJESTY at Virginia Water. It has since been deposited in the King s Guard-chamber, at Windsor Castle. This beautiful lecimen of naval architecture was constructed in the ast Indies ; from its figure-head to the stem, it mea sures upwards of twelve feet, and its main-mast is nearly seven feet in height. The accuracy with which all the complicated minutiae of a vessel of this size is delineated is truly surprising; The blocks and riggin . g, even to the minutest ropes, are represented with the /host perfect correctness.—Miniature ensigns of the Rgyal and Admiralty Standards are affixed to the re spective masts with astonishing freedom of design and execution ; and the whole model forms a most distin guished addition to the attractions of the State Apart ments. Yesterday Mr. P. M , Grigor, one of the Duke of York's Surgeons, attended his Royal Highness at Mr, Greenwood s villa at Brompton. The Royal Duke did not transact military business with Sir Herbert Taylor, Sir Herbert having appointed a levee at his office in the Horse Guards. The Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feodore, and the Princess Victoria, visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. Her Royal Highness took an airing yes terday, in her carriage and tour. The Princess Sophia Matilda paid a visit on Thursday evening to her Royal Highness. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, another Ca binet Council was held at the Foreign Office in Down ing -street, which was attended by the same Members of the Cabinet Council as were present at the Council on Thursday, with the addition of the Lord Chancel lor. The Cabinet Council continued in deliberation for three hours, breaking up exactly at five o'clock, when the Members separated. The Earl of Liver pool came to town from his seat at Coombe Wood, to attend the meeting of the Cabinet, and returned in the evening. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town from Charlton, kent, and returned in the evening. We have read the Address to his Majesty's Go vernment, which is now in course of signature in the town. It contains a well described, but most melan choly, detail of facts, unconnected with either political suggestion or allusion. It has already received a large number of signatures ; and will, we doubt not, be signed by individuals of every political party.—Bir mingham Chronicle. DOVER, JULY 21.—His Excellency the Prince Polignac arrived this morning early from London, and embarked in the .French steam packet Henri Quatre, for Calais, at eleven o'clock, under a salute from the batteries. Mr. William Wood, a gentleman who resides at Summer Hill GrOve, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, has contrived a means of taking hydrogen gas out of coal pits, by an appar a tus w hi c h, is so devised that he can, by it produce ignition at any hour. This apparatus is placed where hydrogen gas is known to exist, and produces at any given time a flame, which communi cating with the gas,'causes instantaneous explosion. This process Mr. Wood proposes to apply as often as the state of the mine is such as to endanger the lives of the workmen. It will for a considerable time, it is presumed, effectually free the colliery from hydrogen or inflammable gas. It has also this good property, that the remedy may be applied at any hour when the men are out of the pit, and when the horses, &c., are removed out of the way. The Dorset District Committee for the Preservation of Lives from Shipwreck held their first annual general court at the County Hall, Dorchester, on Thursday last, E. B. Portman, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The accounts were produced, and stated the remittance of no less a sum than NU to the parent society within the year. This humane establishment has succeeded in placing mortars, with Captain Manby's apparatus, liking the whole line of our coast, so extremely dan- Rrous to seamen, and h a s, by th e ass i stance o f t h e Royal National Institution, stationed two life-boats, one of which is in use at Portland, and the other at Swanhead.---Dorsel County Chronicle. TIME AND PLACE.-01 1 Sunday the 9th, as the congregation were leaving Donington church, their devotional feelings were turned from a very eloquent and impressive sermon which they had just heard, by the parish clerk loudly bawling in the church-yard, " 100,000 cabbage-plants on. sale : applications to be made," &c.--Stamford Mercury. OPENING OF THE AIR. AND CALDER NEW CANAL AND PORT OF GOOLE. Gootx, Thursday Evening, Nine o'clock. After a delay of a- few days occasioned by the unpre cedented drought of the season, this magnificent work was thrown open to the public this morning at ten o'clock. The Gentlemen of the neighbourhoosi filled the passage vessels, and were regaled on their wq , to Goole by the undertakers with a sumptuous cold collation. A fter which, a large party sat down to,dinner at the Banks' Arms, a magnificent hotel built by Sir Edward Banks, and lately opened; the festivities of the table were interrupted about eight o'clock, being the time of high water, by a second peal of ordnance, announcing the arrival of the Lowther steam-packet, which entered the harbour immediately afterwards in gallant style, covered with a 'profusion of colours of various nations. . . . The whole of the workmen employed in the erection of the town of Goole, amounting to upwards of 500, were regaled in the evening with refreshments. W e avail ourselves of this opportunity to report the Ereat progress which has been made since we noticed the first visit a t i lt Directors of the Aire and Calder Naviga tion a year ago to their works at Goole. The ship and barge-docks and outer harbour, are now completed. The ship-dock is 600 feet long by 200 feet wide, the barge-dock 900 feet long by 150 feet wide, and the harbour about 250 feet square. On the west side of t h e ship-dock, a warehouse 160 feet long and 60 feet w ide, covering a basin for the loading and unloading of barges, and consisting of six floors, is completed. On the east side another warehouse, 160 feet long by 80 feet wide, is now roofing, and is adapted for the bonding of f ore i g n goods, intended to be inclosed by a wall, the foun dations of which are already prepared, (or the special se curity of the revenue.

(From the London New Price Current of Friday, July 21.) CorroN.—The sales of Cotton for the week ending last night inclusive, are 950 bags. The market is very heavy on account of the unfavourable intelligence from the country ; but we cannot state any general reduction in the currency by private contract. The particulars of the purchases are :—Surata, 41d. a 5111. ; Bengals, qd. a sd. ; Pername, 10d. a 10d. ; 120 Madras, 4id. a sd. The Cotton at public sale to-day was all taken in, the holders keeping the prices rather above the rates of the market ; 1,400 bales Bengal, 80 Egyptian. At a Late hour to-day the inquiries by private contract rather increased ; 250 bags sold.. SUGAR.—The show of new Sugars has been considerable this week, and as the trade were entirely out of stock, the purchi*ea are rather extensive, and they have been promoted by the im porters meeting the demand freely, and selling at prices a shade lower than last week. To-day the inquiries are not so extensive, owing to the check given by the public sales, the buyers waiting the event in hopes of lower prices. There were three public sales this forenoon ; 122 hhde. St. Lucia Sugars sold freely at full prices; 3,781 bags Mauritius sold heavily at a reduction of ls. per cwt. The Siam Sugars, 297 hags 58 casks fine yellow, 265. 6d. and 275. The Refined market has been heavy all the week, the wholesale grocers not purchasing so extensively as for merly for the home consumption, and the shippers not appearing to buy for the present. At the close of the day the market ap peared short of goods; no Lumps offer (741. and 755.) the no minal prices) and very few goods of any description ; the pur chases privately are reported to be very extensive. Molasses 24.. fid. buyers. The only sales of Foreign Sugars this week, are good Havannah; white 375. 6d. and Ns. strong yellow, 31s. Correx—The Coffee market is in a very feverish and uncertain state; the Jamaica descriptions, good and fine ordinary particu larly, which have lately, from their scarcity, rated 2s. a 4s. higher in proportion than any other qualities, sold on Wednesday 4s. and ss. per cwt. lower ; good to fine ordinary coloury, 43.. a 444. At the large public sale of yesterday, the seller was not inclined to submit to this decline, and, in consequence, nearly the whole sale was taken in ; there was scarcely any Coffee-market ; the few lots sold were nearly at the prices current previous to the decline which we have noticed. There is no Coffee-market- The two sale. to- . day have been nearly all taken in ; the holders will not sell at the reduction we have stated ; St. Domingo for money, has been sold at 425. ; a parcel of good ordinary, 4:44. tics. ; and for fine ordinary 4.4.5. has been refused. We state the prices generally ls, a 2s. lower than on this day week, hnt a very feverish and uncertain market. RUM, BRANDY, AND frOLLA ND11.......Ther* continues to be a great talk about Rum, and considerable inquiries, but the actual transactions are not extensive ; the market is, however, firm and improving; no Leeward. now offer under Is. 10d., and indeed it is difficult to purchase to-day at that rate; the chief sales lately are in Leeward' ; Jamaica Rum is little varied. Brandy has again given way; it is fully as low as previously to the new regulations. Geneva is unvaried. INDIGO.-The East India Company's sale of Indigo termi nated yesterday. The quantity brought forward was 6,918 chests, consisting of 5,043 Bengal, 553 Madras, 111 Manilla, S Java. and 1,208 Oude, the latter being the refuse of fermer sales. The sale opened with spirit, and continued the sane to the end, im proving a little in prices as it proceeded, being well supported by the proprietors, who are unwilling to submit to lower rates, being about the same as the Company's sale in April last, with the ex ception of the better qualities, which are a little lower. The purchases have been almost entirely for Foreign account, not from any want of demand at home, but the want of means to purchase. The quantity bought in consists of about 850 cheats Bengal, 200 Madras, 100 Manilla, and 950 Oude ; the latter being neglected from the heavy stock on hand, and the Manilla from its being but little known in this country, and only brought here occasionally. Besides the quantity bought in, 114 chests have been withdrawn, and 162 chests passed, being put up at prices upon which there *ere no bidders. Fantr....—The demand for Valenti* Raisins continues brisk, but, in consequence of the importers demanding higher prices, the sales have been checked for the present; red Smyrna and Cara bourne Raisins have also been in more request ; in the other de scriptions there is little alteration. By public sale this forenoon. 568 barrels 145 half-chests red Smyrna Raisins. 101 quarter chests Carabourna Raisins, 445. a 48a. ; 150 barrels black Smyrna ditto, 38s. not sold. Cocnneeat..—By public ,ale this forenoon, a small parcel of C ochineal, the Silver was bought iu 14.. a 14.5. 6d., the Black 16s. a 17s. Tobacco,—There are no transactions in Tobacco worth re porting. Seters.—Spices are nearly neglected. COVENT-GARDEN MARKET.—(Txts Day.) There was an average supply at this morning's market, sad a moderately brisk trade. Onions, and best frame Cucumbers, were considerably higher, Mulberries lower, than on this day sen night ; in prices of other things no material alteration. Straw berries seem to have disappeared..
